We traveled to rural Bolivia to meet Patricia Arce, a former mayor who was publicly tortured during a US-backed coup in November 2019.

She is now a senator-elect from the indigenous-led Movement Toward Socialism party, which won in a historic landslide election on October 18.

We spoke with Bolivia’s former foreign minister under Evo Morales. He called for an investigation into the OAS for fraud and backing a coup, rejected Juan Guaidó, and expressed solidarity with Palestine.

We traveled to Bolivia to produce this documentary investigating the coup government’s massacre of indigenous protesters in November 2019.

We interviewed family members of victims and human rights lawyers trying to hold the coup government to justice.

While Joe Biden's aggressively centrist campaign runs ads attacking Trump from the right in Florida, the far-right Venezuelan and Cuban lobbies are hilariously depicting neoliberal Democrats as card-carrying communists.

Both campaigns are competing to see who can demonize Venezuela more.

A Department of Homeland Security election alert warning of supposed Russian meddling, just days before the US election, was so incoherent and inconsistent with previous findings, it suggested a state of political panic inside the agency.

If history is any indicator, President-elect Joe Biden's foreign policy is going to be very similar to Trump's.

We spoke with Colombians and Hondurans about how his neoliberal policies devastated and destabilized their societies.

A Biden campaign event demonstrated that when it comes to Venezuela, policies of regime change, sanctions, and refusal to engage in dialogue, the new Democratic president-elect and Trump are two sides of the same coin.

The head of the Joe Biden transition team for the US Agency for Global Media has branded himself the “chief propagandist,” urged the government to use propaganda against its “own population,” and called to “rethink” the First Amendment.

Biden’s transition team is stacked with war profiteers, Beltway chickenhawks, and corporate consultants.

We compiled the disturbing details on the Obama retreads filling out the Biden-Harris agency review teams.

The Biden team has sent signals that there will be little to no transition away from US regime change abroad. The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal discusses Trump’s rejection of the election results at home, and the records of the likely Biden cabinet members who have adopted the same attitude to governments around the world.

Self-styled "whistleblowers" and mainstream "journalists" earned film deals and flashy awards by blaming Brexit and Trump on a sweeping conspiracy between data firm Cambridge Analytica and Russia.

But a British government investigation utterly shattered their claims to fame.

The US government is claiming new powers to censor alternative media outlets and even seize their web domains by blaming Iran and other foreign countries.

This troubling development could have serious implications for the basic American freedom to publish and access news and opinion.

The BBC created a podcast called Mayday as a desperate attempt to repair the reputation of the Syrian White Helmets and their late founder.

It also tries to discredit OPCW Syria whistleblowers with glaring falsehoods and omissions.

Aaron Maté poked holes in the extremely factually challenged podcast, and tried to get answers to many questions the BBC has ignored.

US President-elect Joe Biden has nominated top Clinton ally Neera Tanden to serve as Office of Management and Budget director.

As much as she hates Trump, Tanden agreed with him on Libya: They both proposed taking its oil in return for bombing the once prosperous country into oblivion.

(Today, 9 years after the US-led war on Libya, the oil-rich North African nation still has no central government.)

Israel’s Mossad has spent years on a propaganda campaign aimed at convincing the world Iran possessed a nuclear weapons program – and legitimizing its assassinations of Iranian academics.

The US Congress and corporate media spread an incredibly misleading lie, falsely claiming Venezuela's government threatened to starve non-voters by using an intentional mistranslation of humorous slang.

We debunked the latest absurd media misinformation:

Exclusive: We obtained documents showing that OPCW executives privately criticized the manipulation of a Syria chemical weapons probe, and supported a dissenting veteran inspector. One official, however, feared helping the “Russian narrative.”

These private admissions further expose the public whitewash of the Douma cover-up, and undermine the ongoing attacks on the whistleblowers who challenged it.

Liberal media outlets are aiding a US economic war on Nicaragua’s Sandinista government, calling for a boycott of “conflict beef” based on deeply flawed opposition accusations.

In Venezuela, Max Blumenthal sat down for an interview with Ecuador's former President Rafael Correa.

They discussed the brutal US attacks on democracy in Latin America, the corrupt regime of current authoritarian leader Lenín Moreno, and the historic betrayal of asylee Julian Assange.

The US Congress’ $900 billion Covid-19 relief bill was packaged with $1.4 trillion in omnibus spending that includes tens of billions for war, weapons, and regime change abroad, from anti-Russia and anti-China initiatives to $3.3 billion for Israel’s military.

While the US government and corporate media glorify right-wing Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo López as the supposed new MLK, he is conspiring with corrupt politicians who sponsor death squads and drug cartels in neighboring Colombia.
